Marcus Lane Group is a specialist planning and environment law practice advising councils and developers across Victoria.

We act for a significant number of municipalities, as well as private sector clients, supporting them in navigating complex planning matters, managing risk, and achieving clear, defensible outcomes.

Our work includes:
– advocacy in VCAT Planning Panels and Advisory Committees proceedings
– strategic advice on planning and environmental law
– complex and contested planning matters
– guidance on planning risk and decision-making

We are regularly involved in high-stakes matters where issues are complex, competing considerations are at play, and outcomes matter.

Acting for both councils and developers provides us with a broad perspective on how planning issues are approached, assessed and resolved in practice.

Our approach is practical, considered and focused on achieving effective outcomes in often challenging and time-sensitive environments.

We work closely with planners, consultants and experts across the sector, and are actively engaged in sharing insights through seminars and briefings on emerging planning issues.
